In 2020, a client began their search for a first home with Marian’s guidance. The timing proved challenging, as the onset of the pandemic and the stress of daily life created uncertainty and delayed their ability to move forward. Despite these obstacles, they remained committed to the goal of homeownership, continuing to view properties with Marian while renting.

Over the course of several years, they explored multiple opportunities, including one competitive bid and another property that ultimately did not meet their needs. Marian’s steady counsel ensured that each decision was approached with clarity and patience, waiting for the right fit.

Just weeks before the client faced renewing their lease, the right home emerged: an off-market colonial located across from a park and within a highly regarded school district. It was well within budget, represented a strong value, and aligned with their long-term goals. Their offer, the second they had ever submitted, was accepted.

Since closing, the owners have enhanced the property with refinished floors and recessed lighting, creating a warm, welcoming environment for their family. What began as a daunting process ultimately became a successful outcome, a testament to perseverance and the power of trusted guidance.
